I own a couple Ed Hardy shirts.

So, yes.

Love. Peace. Metallica.

LOL! Tool. 😀

Btw, this artist is SERIOUSLY talented and has obviously obtained some sort of degree. Beautiful work.

Okay, at first I was thinking “Eight weeks for three designs?” but from the pics it seems obvious that she really did put some effort into it. She’s definitely talented, probably busy, so if you are both patient and willing to make the effort to get exactly what you want, I say stick with her. However, the fact that she has referred you to another…[Read more]

Says the guy with a tribal piece. :p

Hey! Stop showin up the rest of us morons! 😀

Its possible that some Hawaiian or Maori inspired designs could work with the ink you already have there. It would mostly like mean going fairly big, at least half sleeve and shoulder/chest. Check out the tribal tattoo forum, you might get some ideas from there.

Another idea might be a biomech style…

That’s a pretty…[Read more]

Okay, back to TATTOOS! :p It has long been my contention that people in general are dumber than dirt. I have had one guy ask me, (back when I was scratching, mind you, and I wasn’t disgustingly terrible), “Can you do this chick’s name on my hand? I don’t want any scraggly lines or anything.” Now, half of this lowlife’s ink was so bad a prison…[Read more]

I think a tattoo that just says exist would represent just the opposite of what you’re trying to say. You would say that person exists you would be saying that they are just there doing/being the absolute minimum to survive.

We all said oh just one tattoo and you are fucking hot.

Were we separated at birth or something?…[Read more]

Woah, dude. That’s rough. You’re going to have that big black blob for the rest of your life, and judging from the picture, it’s going to start to spread and get really fuzzy. On a positive note, you may be able to find an artist in Vietnam who is skilled enough to contain it, make it look nice and stop it from getting too scary. DO NOT return to…[Read more]

Well, I would like to say thanks to you, msmercury, Buttwheat, Arni, and everyone else here who has been so supportive of my efforts. I kind of lost touch with my passion and ambition due mainly to lack of encouragement and confidence, but you have all really inspired me to pursue my talents and ignore those who don’t believe. Thanks everyone, and…[Read more]

Are all the pieces in this link yours? Because, I gotta say, some of them are awesome and some of them look like real shit. Maybe off days, weak subjects for you, or you just don’t have them in chronological order? Anyway, most of them are better than average to awesome. If…[Read more]

Sounds good! and very thoughtful. But you would honestly still work if you had 165 million?

Art is not work, bro. It is my passion, and I will create until I can no longer hold a pencil or brush.

I would pay off my bills, pay off the debts of my close family, buy a couple of nice, (not luxury), vehicles, then move somewhere where I could get an apprenticeship with an amazing artist. When I completed my apprenticeship and could support myself through my own artwork, I would take the remainder of my winnings and invest it in promising…[Read more]

Subtlety is so lost on you, brutha.

If people never got a tattoo just because they might regret it in say 30years time then there would be hardly any business in tattooing.

How fucking old do you think I am, dickhead?

Dude, all I’m trying to say is, I didn’t think I’d regret any of mine at the time, but now…? I’m older and wiser. Let’s leave it at that.

Seems like that would be a bitch to incorporate into a full sleeve. Did you look at this and get a hard on? Is this particularly meaningful to you? Like I have said to others, don’t get something because it “looks cool, man”. Look for something personal or something that just floors you every time you look at it. Take it from me, bro, you don’t…[Read more]

Congrats and welcome! Looks great so far, we’ll see if you chose an artist talented enough to make those chain links look convincing. 😉
